I am concerned. What is our government's assessment of the level of maturity and accuracy of these weapons?

I also come to speak on this important piece of legislation and in favor of this important piece of legislation. I just visited with Senator Collins, who knows--as so many Members of this body do--that I practiced medicine for a long time…

I do ask unanimous consent that the staff have authority to make technical and conforming changes to each of the matters approved today.

I agree it is time for the Democrats in the Senate to move and stop the blockage so we can get confirmation of Mr. Wright as soon as possible.

I also will be opposing the Carper amendment and supporting your bill.

I believe it is in the national security interest of the United States to help our allies reduce their dependence on Russian energy.

I am very proud to be a part of this, and congratulations to all.

the Senate recently completed what was easily the most productive August in memory. We passed six appropriations bills with full debate on the Senate floor. We passed the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act. We confirmed 25…

This week we were able to reach a bipartisan agreement with the House of Representatives on major water infrastructure legislation.

Let me follow up with that, if I can, the difference between near-term and long-term.

America's Water Infrastructure Act answers President Trump's call to address our Nation's aging infrastructure.

I think we have to expedite these approvals to give our allies alternatives to Russian energy.

Due to technological advances and a newfound abundance of natural gas, the United States really now has capability and capacity to be a strategic energy supplier to Europe.

Russia has basically three sources of power. They have energy, they have a military, and they have the cyber.

I come to the floor today to add my voice to many around the world who remember our dear friend and our colleague John McCain. John McCain was a man of the highest character, courage, and credibility, known for his stubborn courage and his…

we have been seeing a lot in the news lately about the American economy, and it is very good news. Last Friday, the Wall Street Journal had an article with the headline ``Youth Unemployment Hits 52-Year Low''--a 52-year low. For people…

This bill does have the strong support of the American workers across the Country.

The State of Washington has abused their authority to block the export of coal mined in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and Montana.

By preventing this project from moving forward, Washington State has hurt the economy of the entire region and the Nation.

Can you talk a bit about how the export of American energy can actually improve, not reduce, environmental protection?

I would like to spend time this afternoon talking about something I continue to hear about in Wyoming. I heard about it a lot over the past week. I heard about it last night in Sundance, WY. It is the Endangered Species Act. The Endangered…
